If you really want to remember the difference between mass and weight check out this video.
-
-
To understand the differences we need to compare a few points:
1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.
2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.
3) The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. Weight, on the otherhand does change with location.

Learn how to find the mass of an object using a triple beam balance.
-
A triple-beam balance gets its name because it has three beams that allow you to move known masses along the beam.

Matter is everything around you. Matter is anything made of atoms and molecules. Matter is anything that has a mass. Matter is also related to light and electromagnetic radiation. Even though matter can be found all over the universe, you usually find it in just a few forms. As of 1995, scientists have identified five states of matter. They may discover one more by the time you get old.
